The Detroit Lions had a slow start to free agency, choosing to release several players from the previous regime instead of adding many. The Lions’ most prominent addition has been tight end Josh Hill, formerly of the New Orleans Saints and a favorite of Detroit’s newest head coach, Dan Campbell.
But things started to heat up overnight as the team prepares for the official kickoff to free agency on Wednesday afternoon, the start of the new league year for the NFL. Early this morning, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported via an unnamed source that the Lions have agreed to a two-year deal with running back Jamaal Williams, formerly of the Green Bay Packers.
